Not here.

This is one of the things that I am most proud of Pete for doing. (Sobering 
up) He is an alchoholic, so he literally cannot drink. I remember him saying 
this on an interview back in '82 when I was a senior in high school. I credit 
him for being the one that turned me off to going down that road. When I saw 
them at the Pontiac Silverdome that year Pete talked to the crowd and 
mentioned not drinking.( A brave thing to say at the time) He recieved alot 
of boos. That was the moment that I thought, "I want to be just like him". 

He had a relapse in '93 for a year, but hasn't had a drink since then, I just 
read here recently. (Maybe that's how we got Psychoderelict) ;)
